OMG Josh, im getting a visual here :D I just laughed out loud, first your Cat killing story, now this :D your a riot bud! We must have camp again :D
It was chilly out, and, I had a "little" cold. I went to stop a buck for a shot with a little "maa" and instead- I coughed !! Buck bounded away, stopped and looked back. I was able to get drawn and get a shot, but, my arrow hit a tree. 1- I now always make sure to clear my throat every now and again. 2- I make it a pratice not to shoot at a deer that just spooked, cuz the outcome of that shot could have resulted in an injured deer. STUPID !! I derserved to miss !! Forgot my arrows. Forgot broadheads. Forgot boots. Forgot socks. Went to the wrong property when I was supossed to meet my friend to a morning hunt, I literally "looked" for him, like an idiot. Had the bottom portion of my climber slide down the tree, without me ! Stepped through ice in a small creek, got soaked- continued to stand anyway and nearly got frost bite.. Number one dumbest thing- HUNTED WITHOUT A SAFETY HARNESS !!
LOL, that's one of the funniest things I've ever read! My most recent stupid mistake was walking out one night in the pitch black and rain through a clover field when I decided to pull off my face mask. I took a few more steps and thought hey I can't see very well anymore. WHERE THE HELL ARE MY GLASSES?! I stop in my tracks say Ohh S**T, turn around, drop down and start to feel around. Of course no flashlight on hand, not that I could see without my glasses. After half an hour of panic, crawling around on my hands and knees before I found them. I now where contacts. I'm still chuckling about the dump in the hood:D
